The home town bit is an attraction, I'll grant you that.
As to your take on the Jets, you exaggerate to this extent. Rex has 2 yrs left on his deal so he's in lame duck mode in 2013. There's no way he is going to have "power in the make up of the team."
So you say. He is a strong personality. Also a lame duck coach for 2013 is a good thing for an incoming GM rather than him having the authority to hire his own guy?
Did Woody just extend Rex? No. That's telling.
So why did he not fire him? Once again a lame duck coach or a coach that is being foisted on a new Gm is hardly a selling point.
As to Sanchez, the new GM is not committed to him next year. There has not been a single report stating that the new GM is required to keep Sanchez. In fact, the Sanchez extension was one of the reasons Tanny got fired.
His cap hit is what is making Sanchez committed, to go along with the miriade of holes on the team. Can the new G just dump sanchez and take the cap hit? sure but he is now behind the 8 ball cap wise, has a lame duck coach and may have to let players he'd like to keep (landry) walk
The new GM is being hired to fix Tanny's mess, not to continue with it.
Rex Ryan is as big of a culprit ion the mess as Tanny was....and he is still here.
